I saw the neurologist last week, the following day: An urgent MRI and straight away the result. My brain has shrunk but that is normal at my age. My normally hard to regulate blood pressure was very low. So I halfed one tablet and can walk normally now.
One thing left: I have my iron-deficieny anemia back.
That can be cause I don't absorb iron after the op or worse is possible too. We are both optimistic.

Pili Pubul: Thank you for the update, I hope that they can regulate
your vital signs and iron absorption soon. I am glad you can walk normally ... Thinking of you . Take care. Pili

nancy_e_davis: Maybe you are getting the problem solved. I sincerely hope you will continle to improve. Love, Nancy

Robin Gilmor: Brain shrinking is normal as we age. High blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and over weight can increase the speed.
It sounds awful because we don't hear of it that much. Regulating your meds should help you and I am certainly glad to read you are walking normally again. I am not sure of your age but I will seventy this year and suddenly missing the bottom step. For twenty years I was fine, suddenly I forget there is a second step. Crazy me. I'm trying to walk more and get up and move. Lack of motion can cause so many problems. I have three kids that are doctors and they want me to walk more. You should too. Good luck to you. You are in my prayers to be well. Smiles, Robin :)

misscookie: God bless you for your faith, good doctors. I'm please you are coming along well. Yes walking is very important for your health I started back walking last week. I did three day. to tried to finish the week. We both are on the battle field and we shall over come!
until next time.

l.raven: HI Sweetness, I hope you all is well...thank you for letting us know...I'm a little last in reading...my prayers are always with you...take care...Luff Linda xxoo

TomyKan: I'm sorry to hear about what seems to be several ongoing medical problems. I don't really know you yet, but you have commented on one of my poems (I just joined), and I on your police narrative. My heart goes out to you. I hope you can recover soon, or at least stabilize your conditions. I hope your medical situation does not interfere with your writing. I look forward to reading more of your writing (both poetry and prose).

nelliesellie: I hate cancer. There is always the disease or problems caused by the cancer or the cure. I have iron-deficiency too. Here is all my best wishes.

Friday we phoned the surgeon to ask him to try and manipulate the ENT doctor to operate sooner, as long as that is safe.
Today Robert got a call from my sister: she broke 3 bones in her right foot, when her motor bike fell on her. 3 pins and six weeks not allowed to work.

July 19, 2014 at 9:41AM

Dutchie: Thanks girl for the update... Well how sooner, how better I think. I hope the surgeon succeed.
Sorry to hear your sister has broken her foot, and very complicated too.... I wish you and Robert the best, and your sister too of course...

July 19, 2014 at 12:24PM

l.raven: OMG Ine...what next ????I pray she will be ok...and you too...I didn't know they were going to try again...Ine I am so sorry...please know you are in my prayers...take care...let us know...love ya...Linda xxoo

You will be glad to know that 'Rouskin' did 50 reviews on your work to make sure you climb the ranks, smiles. Drinks won't help but prayers can and we are all praying for you. We have faith and so must you.
Cheerio, luv and hugs, bro Ritchie. :))

MizKat: Oh, my goodness, Ine. I'm so sorry to hear your poor little dog died. I know how sad this can be, because my dog was suffering so much I had to take him to the vet to euthanize him in 2011. I still miss him. Kat

robina1978: Thanks all, I only found this today. We still sometimes call Roxy Nicci. So yes she is still on ur mind.

Dragifortuna:
Dear artistic friend!
I got a message from FAR Notice that you create a new poem on FanStory.com that features my painting "Winter on the marsh". I am very flattered and I thank you very much for your honor. I wish you all the best! Dragi

I am pleased to be back. As the site was so decent to let me take the class and mainly as I missed you all, I am back. I will have to cut down on reviewing and posting as that kind of made me overworked. I also found other things to fill up the space, like walking more with Nicci. I won't run away again and as I said not post private things.
Learned my lesson the hard way- LOL.

I try to get back for a chat with some, and to take the classes I already paid for. Did not get an answer to my question about this.
Won't be reviewing much, maybe a bit. And probably won't post. But they still might refuse me- LOL.

I also want to thank all people that gave me such high ratings. There were so many that I could not send them all individula answers, sorry.

June 1, 2012 at 6:29AM

Lady & Louis: If it's any help, it is okay to do a generic reply to reviews - pretty much what you've said here. That way people get their own replies, and they might not use the forums to see this one.

I am leaving the site very soon. Will try and write and post a poem about it, if the site permits me. Nothing to do with my health. Wish you all the best and am going to miss you all.
My private email: inecarle1951@gmail.com

artemis53: I'm not getting this, Ine. I don't have to get it of course but I don't want to see you go. You add a gentleness to this site and your words are precise and full. Why in the world would you leave?

gramalot8: sorry you are leaving. Please, if appropriate, leave me a private message as to why, so maybe we can help, intervene, or even make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Jerri

Sorry got so behind with answering replies that I left quite a few with no answer. Getting rather busy with rehab(started today), starting my second lot of poetry classes and seeing the GP every week as the blood pressure is still not good.
Will keep trying my best. Love all of you, Ine

Hi all, I am allowed home tomorrow.
My condition will slowky have to be built up.

Dutchie: Hi Ine. That's great!!!!!!
So glad you come home tomorrow.
But take it easy and take care. Hugs. Fia

Lovinia: Whooppee! So pleased ... take it slowly .... and WOW! YOU did it! ... the ship will be in full sail soon. :):) So lovely to have you back with us. Love the chocolate .... heheh! Love & hugs (((((Ine))))) (((((Robert))))) (((((Nicci))))) - :))) Lovi xoxoxoxoxoxoxoooxoxo

Carolyn 12: Love this song. I am so glad you are home and feeling better. Prayers for continued healing.

February 7, 2012 at 12:14PM

robina1978: Thanks, just found this today. The chocolate one was for you and me Lovinia.

Lovinia: Hi Ine
Just popped in to see how your doctor's visit went. News is not unexpected .... I think a good thing to not have to wait so long. You will have two loved ones at home and many here on FS to return to.
My love, thoughts and prayers will be, and are, with you. Keep safe, strong and well. Love & hugs - :) Lovinia xoxo

CALLAHANMR: Good luck on your surgery. Our youngest daughter was saved by open heart surgery in 1963. It was a miracle, because she weighed a pound less than her birth weight when doctors performed a last ditch operation to prevent almost certain death.

Kathy will be fifty this summer and is in near perfect health. Incidently she was only the forth baby to survive her birth defect.

I know this will be a blessing for you too. Hre are some virtual Irish hugs for good health.

misscookie: I hope your planning on geting this A-B-C book publish when your finish.

December 26, 2011 at 4:04AM

robina1978: No I don't think so, checked, but it involves far too much work.

December 26, 2011 at 5:29AM

October21: Fanstory should give prizes for the amount of reviews written in a week. If one reviewer reviewed over.... lets say one hundred pieces a week, they could win 5 member dollars... or a reviewing ribbon. It will help the people who review a lot to know that their reviews count and are appreciated. Sometimes we must feel like we are reviewing so many writers' work and gaining nothing in return. I reckon for us special reviewers, who review frequently... should be rewarded! Help to raise this idea by contacting Tom by private message...

December 31, 2011 at 3:55PM

robina1978: Did you write to him? I agree with your thought, but don't want to be the only one writing this.

Robert was screened at the hospital and saw the surgeon. No way it appeared malignent. So all your prayers must have helped and mine. Don't know if he prayed-never tells me. He just has to keep an eye on it and if by the odd chance it would get bigger go back. So celebrations here all over the place.

November 17, 2011 at 7:38AM

Writingfundimension: That's wonderful news, Ine. It's not just for the money that doctors recommend regular checks of such things as colon and breasts. It's so others can experience this kind of 'happy' ending. I'm sure the prayers helped too! Bev

missy98writer: Ine,
I'm so happy your hubby is doing better. Thank God. My dad's brother, Haskell, is fighting prostate cancer and I'm afraid he's going to die. I worry him when it get sick on top of all the diseases my poor body fights. I've outlived the doctors predictions. But PPH is horrible it takes my breath away when I roll around a lot to get my adult diaper change because I have an overactive bladder. But when I poop I use a bed pan. I haven't gotten up in my wheel chair since over a week ago because a major bladder infection is kicking my ass. On top of it I had celluitis- an effection in your cells near lymphphatic tissue. So I've been taking two different forms of antibodics. I also took a pill to prevent yeast infection since antibodics kill good and bad bacteria. Oh well, I'm grateful to be alive and I plan to leave earth kicking and screaming. So I pray for fellow suffers of a diseased body. Peace out!
Melissa.
